This is so cool to watch....I work in part of the world where women of that age are either in wheelchair, walker or using a cane at best, not dancing their legs off. Show more of these lovely women. They are so beautifully active and happy and true representation of Luo culture.

These beautiful people are doing an outstanding job of representing the all our ancestors with their art forms. I can see my family in the amazing audience. Much love from the island of Barbados where we were enslaved.

[@clydecarter8411]

I am so sad to learn of the passing of Ototi the drummer, too young to die!! I love the enthusiasm and spirit of the women in particular. Love from Barbados.
